CCDH: The Centre for Cancel Culture and Digital Hypocrisy - Part 2

ccdh imran
In Part 1 we looked at the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) who, in accordance with the Commission on Countering Extremism definition, can be described as hateful extremists. In particular, we looked at their recent attack upon people who express some doubts about vaccines. It appears the CCDH are working with others to establish the censorship grid at the heart of an emerging Technofascist State.

The CCDH are a small organisation, employing no more than two people, who have been given disproportionate power and influence. They appear to comprise of one CEO, one b-list celebrity (as patron) and six board members. They state on their website that their small budget is funded by unnamed philanthropic trusts and members of the public.

Tri-Labour
Tri-Labour?
The CCDH links to the parliamentary Labour Party are considerable. They appear to benefit from a revolving door between them and the UK parliament. Recently, former CCDH board member and founder Morgan McSweeney left to become Labour Leader Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff.

Keir Starmer is the only parliamentarian who is also a serving member of the Trilateral Commission. Founded in 1973 by oil and banking tycoon David Rockefeller and political king maker Zbigniew Brzezinski, who devised Operation Cyclone to financially support, arm and equip Islamist extremists, it brings together world political leaders with global investors and bankers, academics and policy advisers. The Trilateral commission is a powerful and influential globalist policy think tank whose stated aim is to build:
"[An] international system to navigate successfully the major challenges of the coming years."
The CCDH's association with people like London Mayor Sadique Khan, McSweeney and Starmer, afford representatives like Ahmed the kind of political clout he needs to meet with Twitter bosses and have people banned from their platform. While failing to convince Twitter to censor the views of George Galloway (give them time) they did rid the Twittersphere of right wing mouthpiece Katey Hopkins.

Dr Fauci tells Matthew McConaughey that the death toll would be 'enormous' if the US tried to achieve herd immunity

Anthony Fauci Matthew McConaughey
Dr Anthony Fauci explained to Matthew McConaughey on Thursday that the death toll would be 'enormous' had the US attempted to achieve herd immunity.

In a discussion with the actor on Instagram, the nation's top infectious disease expert said: 'If everyone contracted it, even with the relatively high percentage of people who are without symptoms... a lot of people are going to die.'

'If you look at the United States of America with our epidemic of obesity as it were, with the number of people with hypertension, with the number of people with diabetes, if everyone got infected the death toll would be enormous and totally unacceptable,' Fauci said.

Comment: Quite the softball question from McConaughey. He should have pressed him more, asking if it isn't possible to protect the vulnerable while leaving the healthy to carry on with their lives, and if not, why not? The entire Covid situation is a scam and the fact that they're getting Hollywood A-list actors to produce propaganda for them is quite telling in and of itself.

The Justice Department accused Yale University of discriminating against Asian American and white applicants

The allegation came as a result of a federal investigation, which found that Yale uses race as a factor in multiple steps of the admissions process.

A Justice Department investigation has found Yale University is illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants, in violation of federal civil rights law, officials said Thursday.

Yale denied the allegation, calling it "meritless" and "hasty."

The findings detailed in a letter to the college's attorneys Thursday mark the latest action by the Trump administration aimed at rooting out discrimination in the college application process, following complaints from students about the application process at some Ivy League colleges. The Justice Department had previously filed court papers siding with Asian American groups who had levied similar allegations against Harvard University.

Comment: Not surprising given Yale's recent move toward 'wokeness'.

Look who's talking about educational equity

school locker
In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, college presidents scrambled to issue condemnations of racism, police brutality, and white supremacy. They often buttressed those condemnations with promises to expand their institution's administrative bureaucracy. For instance, among other things, the University of Kentucky will institute cultural proficiency and diversity training for faculty and students, and install "diversity and inclusion officers" within each of its 17 colleges. Out west, the University of the Redlands issued an 18-point plan, including an "Activist Residence" program, racial climate surveys, anti-racism workshops, racial healing workshops, and enhanced hiring procedures and performance evaluations that will monitor contributions to "diversity and inclusion." Similar plans are afoot in colleges across the nation.

However well intentioned, these programs will likely increase inequities rather than reduce them, and push the nation's colleges still closer to the low level of its public schools. The reason? As I have explained before, most of the college administrators who work in offices promoting "Diversity and Inclusion" and "Equity and Social Justice" and the like have been credentialed by the same dysfunctional institutions that have monopolized the training and licensure of K-12 (kindergarten through 12th grade) teachers, principals, and superintendents for 50 years — education schools.

A century ago, Harvard president Lawrence Lowell described the university's education school as "a kitten that ought to be drowned," and in the decades since, successive studies have reached the same conclusion: Most of our training schools for K-12 teachers lack rigorous standards for admission, graduation, and research — but they're filled to the brim with ideology.

The real problem with test and trace in the UK: Contact tracers have nothing to do because there are so few cases

self isolate billboard
The UK's 'world-beating' NHS Test and Trace has hit the rocks once more. Now the service plans to axe 6,000 of its contact tracers so the work can be assigned to local authorities.

It's not surprising that the jobs have gone. For months, test-and-trace staff have complained that they are essentially being paid to sit around and watch Netflix, while making only a handful of calls. Boredom is kept at bay in some call centres by team leaders providing fun quizzes.

The Guardian reported this week that in one of the subsidiaries, 471 agents managed to make just 135 calls in two days. That's just 0.4 calls per person per day - and that includes calls to incorrect numbers, calls which went to voicemail, and calls to people who had already been contacted in error. One tracer claims that on one occasion, the same individual was contacted 20 times. In some weeks, the service has contacted less than half of the contacts of people with a positive Covid test. Though the success rate has risen to around seven in 10 since, SAGE estimates that at least 80 per cent of contacts would need to self-isolate for the scheme to be effective.

Despite the name, NHS Test and Trace is not run by the NHS at all. It is headed by Dido Harding, Conservative peer and former CEO of TalkTalk, and the work is split between two outsourcing companies - Serco and Sitel. In some cases, these firms then subcontract the work further to call centres.

Comment: Given the relatively low numbers of people actually contracting Covid-19, Contact Tracing seems to be dead on arrival. But that doesn't mean that the social engineers and technocrats won't have a "use" for their ridiculous surveillance architecture should the hystericized corporate media be tasked with drumming up the fear trauma again.

Providing for the future: Despite Covid-19 crisis & falling oil prices, Russia's gold & foreign exchange reserves reach all-time high

The value of Russia's gold and foreign currency holdings has risen by almost $9 billion in a week. This means it's sitting on $600 billion in forex reserves - an all-time record beating August 2008's previous high of $598 billion.

That was just before the global financial crisis, or 'Great Recession', which wreaked havoc worldwide towards the end of the 2000s. Back then, the slush fund started to dwindle rapidly, due to the economic crisis, and lost over $100 billion in value in the following three months.

Comment: Putin is positioning Russia's finances to weather the inevitable economic crunch coming from a world monetary system awash in unpayable debt. It "pays" to pay attention to reality.

Atheists for Trump? David Silverman reacts to Biden naming Harris with 'Are You Serious?' face, saying he might vote red

David Silverman, one of America's most prominent atheists, says he's so troubled by the Democratic Party's radical shift to the left and the mowing down of libertarian principles that he may do the unthinkable: vote Trump.

Silverman's face became a popular online meme after his 2011 stand-off with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News, in which he reacted with a particularly perplexed face to the host's "tide goes in, tide goes out" argument supposedly proving the existence of God. It now appears that Joe Biden's Tuesday pick of the Senator Kamala Harris (D-California) as his running mate has triggered a new major "Are You Serious?" moment for David.

"I'm literally thinking of voting red right now," Silverman tweeted Tuesday, after the news about Harris broke. "I used to say 'I'm so blue I make the sky look red.' I haven't changed. The left has."

Comment: Have the Democrats 'left the left? Some of their true-blue followers are coming to that conclusion. The outrageous mockery and momentum of US politics will determine its hand and the public shall succumb to the consequences no matter the party, ethics or circumstance.

Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying was released on police bail shortly after midnight on Tuesday, more than 40 hours after he was arrested for foreign collusion under the new sweeping national security law and had spent part of the day taken in handcuffs to his moored yacht for a search.

He appeared outside Mong Kok Police Station to loud chants of "Support Apple! Support till the end!" from dozens of supporters who jostled with the hordes of waiting media.

He waved and got into his car, which had to move slowly as it was swiftly surrounded by journalists and well-wishers. Lai's bail was set at HK$300,000 (US$38,461), plus a HK$200,000 surety.

Epstein's suspected 'madam' claims her conversations with lawyers are illegally recorded

The British socialite and Jeffrey Epstein's friend and ex-partner faces a mid-2021 trial on six federal charges, which she has pleaded not guilty to. If found guilty, she faces up to 35 years behind bars.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys have claimed that her private Brooklyn jailhouse calls with them are being unlawfully recorded, in violation of New York State laws, according to a newly unveiled filing handed over to a federal judge.

Although her initial jail conditions were even stricter, as she was put on suicide watch following her long-sought arrest in early July, she remains in solitary confinement, in "uniquely onerous conditions", the lawyers claim. "[Maxwell] continues to be surveilled 24 hours a day by security cameras and by multiple prison guards, many of whom do not appear to be regular MDC personnel", the filing released by the media reads.

Music professor threatens to sue university for investigating him over defense of 'racist' composer

Heinrich Schenker

The University of Northern Texas denies that its investigation into an academic journal accused of racism will chill the academic freedom of faculty.

Timothy Jackson, a distinguished university research professor, is under investigation with other editors at the Journal of Schenkerian Studies. Students and faculty publicly condemned both the editors and the journal for a recent volume that debated the namesake of the journal, the 19th century composer Heinrich Schenker (above).

Jackson is considering legal action against the university, his attorney Michael Allen told The College Fix via email. "Please understand that Professor Jackson," who is currently ill, "is fighting for his life's work right now," and the investigation has had an "immediate and detrimental effect on" the professor's health, Allen said.

He said "at least one individual" has "indicat[ed] they were coerced into signing the petitions that now swirl around the internet denouncing" Jackson and his journal. The lawyer was not more specific about this individual or Jackson's illness.

The controversial volume was a response to a 2019 paper, and later a plenary address, by Hunter College Prof. Philip Ewell in the Society for Music Theory's journal Music Theory Online. Ewell's paper sought to explain the "white racial frame" that is "structural and institutionalized" in the field of music theory.

The black professor argued that Schenker was "an ardent racist and German nationalist" whose ideas exist "to benefit members of the dominant white race of music theory."
